Chapter 345: You're Just a Shield

"However, if I were to comprehend this mysterious artistic conception by exploring the laws of thunder and fire... this path is undoubtedly a detour." Although Wu Yuan eagerly desired to comprehend this mysterious artistic conception.

Yet, he remained calm and didn't confuse priorities.

"The purpose of comprehending this mysterious artistic conception is to be able to draw on secrets, step into the threshold of the Law of Life, which encompasses Longevity, Stars, and Realms." Wu Yuan was well aware of this.

If one comprehends this mysterious artistic conception to its peak, it might be terrifying; undoubtedly, it is a path leading to the pinnacle.

But sometimes, blindly pursuing strength may not be suitable for oneself.

"I am not proficient in thunder or fire," Wu Yuan shook his head slightly. "I also don't like thunder or fire."

Wu Yuan comprehended the mysteries of the stars.

Feeling the profoundness of the harmonious origin was what he was most passionate about, just like when he comprehended the 'Mysteries of the Earth' in his early years, often taking several years in one go.

Immersing himself in it, that's why he progressed so quickly.

As for the Dao of Longevity, with its continuous vitality, Wu Yuan, immersed in it, would sometimes reveal a genuine smile while practicing.

He liked that lively feeling.

As for the Dao of Space, Wu Yuan was shocked and intoxicated by the vast and profound nature of space. Therefore, he comprehended the 'Dimension of Space,' an intermediate law, the fastest.

However, comprehending the road of space fragmentation and the Dimensional Blade was slow and pitifully inefficient, with an efficiency only about a fraction of the Dimension of Space.

From the bottom of his heart,

Wu Yuan didn't like killing. He preferred quiet cultivation rather than recklessly risking life and death to push himself.

Setting foot on the path of cultivation because of innate talent.

But innate talent often reflects the direction of one's heart.

Only by loving it from the heart can one continuously break through bottlenecks.

Even in the Blood Refining Battlefield and the Witch Immortal Battlefield back then, as long as he achieved his goal, Wu Yuan mostly stopped.

"Following the path that suits your heart the most is the best path." Wu Yuan muttered.

Just like Senior Jiang Huan, didn't he know about the Law of Life?

Yet, he still directly comprehended the Law of Stars.

For Wu Yuan now, the paths of Thunder and Fire do not temporarily align with his heart, and comprehending them is incredibly slow.

Comprehending for a thousand years.

It's probably still not as fast as comprehending the Paths of Stars and Longevity in just ten years.

"Now that I understand the artistic conception required by this Thunder Beast diagram, I must comprehend thunder and fire to a profound level. I can only abandon this path for now." Wu Yuan indeed gave up this path.

You must know that in the entire Thunder Beast world,

There is not just one Thunder Beast diagram.

"Let's go look at other Thunder Beast diagrams. Perhaps, not every Thunder Beast diagram contains the same artistic conception."

"Phew!"

Wu Yuan collected his thoughts, stood up, and shifted his gaze. He saw Yun Ya and Yun Ling smiling at him not far away.

It seemed like they had been waiting for him.

"Yun Ya, you've been waiting for a long time," Wu Yuan smiled.

This time, the comprehension, although it seemed short, actually took two days.

"No worries. We just woke up from comprehending this Thunder Beast diagram. Although we've grasped some mysteries, the impact was minimal," Yun Ya sighed, "So, we decided to enter the inner realm. In the inner realm, in one area of Dao patterns on the stone walls, there are seventy-three Thunder Beast diagrams."

Wu Yuan nodded.

According to the intelligence, over countless years, various forces had long explored and found out that in the outer realm, there were a total of three hundred and sixty-five Thunder Beast diagrams.

This was all of the Thunder Beast diagrams.

However, these three hundred and sixty Thunder Beast diagrams were scattered in different regions, with only one Thunder Beast diagram in each area.

As for the inner realm, there were five major areas, each with seventy-three Thunder Beast diagrams.

As for the core area?

It contains all three hundred and sixty-five Thunder Beast diagrams, complete and intact.

In summary, the more dangerous the area, the more concentrated the Thunder Beast diagrams.

"Different Thunder Beast diagrams have different appearances. The simulated projection images in the intelligence are just similar in form. Only by facing the stone wall Dao patterns can one perceive the charm and understand the profound mysteries contained within." Yun Ling's voice was pleasant. "So, you have to see it with your own eyes."

"Yes." Wu Yuan nodded. "I also have this intention."

If he hadn't seen the Thunder Beast diagrams before, that would be one thing. Now that he has seen and perceived the mysteries of the Thunder Beast diagrams, Wu Yuan will not be satisfied unless he finds an artistic conception that suits him among the three hundred and sixty-five Thunder Beast diagrams. At least, he has to go through all of them.

Moreover!

From the coordinates of entering the Immortal Land and the corresponding map of the Thunder Beast world, the entrance is right at the border between the inner realm and the core area.

"Dark Blade friend, why not travel together?" Yun Ya invited Wu Yuan.

"We three traveling together, collaborating, will also be safer." Yun Ling smiled beside him.

"Okay." Wu Yuan nodded.

Traveling with multiple people, especially with two Nascent Soul cultivators, can solve most troubles, and it can also cover up one's own strength to the greatest extent.

Perhaps, some cultivators might have concerns.

But Wu Yuan didn't mind that much. He had enough confidence to deal with most dangers.

...

Quickly, Wu Yuan, Yun Ya, and Yun Ling formed a team and left the area of the stone wall Dao patterns.

They entered the inner realm along a range of mountains hundreds of thousands of miles away.

Whether it was the dozens of cultivators from the Changxing Immortal Sect or the cultivators from the other two immortal sects, they did not choose to follow.

Inner realm?

For these Zifu-level cultivators, unless they are extremely confident or have life-saving treasures, most of them will only explore in the outer realm.

In the outer realm, elite Thunder Beasts occasionally appear.

But in the inner realm, there are many elite Thunder Beasts, and occasionally, Thunder Beast Kings may even appear. Nascent Soul realm cultivators must be careful.

...In the inner realm's five major regions, each region is extremely vast, but the towering mountain ranges on both sides have become more majestic, with heights exceeding thirty thousand miles.

Such heights, under the suppression of the array in the Thunder Beast world, even a powerful Earth Immortal dare not cross for fear of encountering heavenly thunder strikes.

And the gaps between the mountain ranges are no more than a thousand miles apart, making the bottom of the ravines extremely dark.

The light is very weak.

Damp! Muddy!

"These mountain ranges are extremely hard. I have tried it. As long as I dig more than a hundred miles, I can hardly dig any further. There is a formation power stabilizing it." Yun Ya shook his head. "So, besides slowly bypassing along the ravines and mountain ranges, there is no other way to pass through."

Wu Yuan listened.

He didn't try it himself, but the intelligence from the Changxing Immortal Sect didn't mention any convenient methods, so it seems there isn't.

The three of them flew cautiously between the mountain ranges.

They didn't dare to make too much noise.

Because in the inner realm, although their divine consciousness seemed to spread widely, the special nature of Thunder Beasts prevented them from sensing Thunder Beasts in advance.

"This is a Star Lord."

"Setting up an array, driving the evolution of a world, making it possess such incredible abilities." Wu Yuan secretly thought.

Arriving in this vast Thunder Beast world,

Experiencing the uniqueness of the Thunder Beast world made Wu Yuan more aware of the gap between himself and the superpowers.

"Other Heavenly Immortals and Star Lords respect me, and many Star Lords are polite to me. That's because of my talent, because I have a Monarch standing behind me." Wu Yuan thought to himself. "But talent has to be realized to be useful."

"Having a backer? Just relying on power."

"If I really engage in a direct battle, a Ninth Level Earth Immortal can kill me with one move." Wu Yuan contemplated silently in his heart.

"Must be cautious, must be careful."

"Although most of the dangers in this Thunder Beast world will not cause me to fall, I still have many trump cards, but I must be careful."

"Being alive is having everything."

... "Let's take this passage."

"In the entire Thunder Beast world, the terrain in the outer realm will not change. But internally, apart from the five major areas with stone wall Dao pattern zones, the mountain ranges will continuously change under the control of the formation."

"We can only continuously approach the stone wall Dao pattern zones based on the directions. Wu Yuan, Yun Ya, Yun Ling, and the three of them continued to move along various mountain ranges, entering different gorge passages."

... "Pfft!"

"Kill!"

As Yun Ling displayed several golden lights slashing across the sky for thousands of miles, over a dozen Thunder Beasts were instantly cut and torn apart.

As they progressed, they didn't encounter other cultivators again, but occasionally, they would come across ordinary Thunder Beasts.

All easily dealt with by Yun Ya and Yun Ling.

"It seems that Yun Ya is truly skilled in the Wood Dao, not the Thunder Path, while Yun Ling excels in the Metal Dao?" Wu Yuan quickly noticed this, pondering.

Both of them were comprehending lower-level Dao laws, but it seemed they had already grasped the essence up to the Ninth Level, which was quite good for the Nascent Soul realm.

...On one side of a dim gorge, at the bottom of the mountains, there was a massive cave. The cave was incredibly vast, housing densely packed Thunder Beasts, some tens of zhang in length, and even some over a hundred zhang with immensely powerful auras.

It was undoubtedly an extremely terrifying Thunder Beast nest.

Most of these Thunder Beasts were lying on the ground, asleep. Only a few weaker ones seemed to be playing around.

Suddenly.

"Roar~" a low roar echoed from the darkness of the cave. The terrifying roar even formed gusts of winds, and faintly, thunder and lightning flickered in the wind.

"Roar~"

"Oh~ Roar!"

"Roar!" The previously sleeping Thunder Beasts were awakened by this low roar, and one by one, they opened their eyes, responding with low roars.

Finally, all the Thunder Beasts in the entire cave woke up.

"Roar~" The low roar from deep within the cave suddenly turned into a roar! It was as if it was a command for a grand charge.

In an instant.

"Roar!"

"Boom!" "Boom!" Almost a hundred Thunder Beasts roared almost without hesitation, followed by either leaping or charging, swiftly rushing out of the cave like lightning and into the gorge.

...

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Two figures in white robes, and a burly man carrying a war knife on his back.

Flying close to the ground, at a speed of three hundred li per second.

"I estimate that as long as we find another mountain range, we will be very close." Yun Ling smiled. "We've been lucky on this journey, haven't encountered a single elite Thunder Beast..."

Yun Ya and Wu Yuan both nodded, feeling quite relaxed.

Suddenly.

Boom boom boom~ The surrounding ground slightly trembled, and even the space seemed to be shaking continuously, as if something massive was advancing.

"Hmm?"

"What's going on?" Wu Yuan, Yun Ya, and the others, with their keen perceptions, immediately sensed that something was wrong and stopped.

Swoosh!

Yun Ling, in particular, flashed directly into the sky for hundreds of li.

To see far, you need to stand high.

And with this look, her face changed instantly, and her voice seemed to become somewhat distorted, almost hoarse as she exclaimed, "Escape!"

Boom!

Without any hesitation, Yun Ling's whole body was covered in golden light, erupting at full force. She directly transformed into a golden stream of light, lightning-fast in her return.

"Not good!"

"Go!" Though Wu Yuan and Yun Ya still didn't understand what had happened, they didn't hesitate to turn into two streams of light and rush out.

Even Wu Yuan directly transformed into a hundred-zhang tall figure, and a pair of wings appeared on his back. His speed soared to an astonishing level, not much slower than Yun Ya.

This speed made even Yun Ling reveal a trace of surprise.

After all, the two of them were at the Fourth Level of Nascent Soul, and Wu Yuan was at the Fifth Level.

Swoosh!

Swoosh! The three of them erupted at full force, and with a single flash, they could traverse over a thousand li. However, the winding and twisting gorge passages, with a width of only a few thousand li at the widest, prevented them from accelerating their speed to the maximum.

Speed of movement, one is the limit speed, requiring acceleration for some time to reach the limit, and must fly in a straight line.

The other is an instantaneous burst of speed in complex terrain.

Obviously, the second type of speed will be much slower than the first.

But Thunder Beasts, born in the Thunder World, are most adapted to these terrain environments. Their body structure is best suited for exerting force in such special environments, allowing their speed to reach terrifying levels.

Just two breaths.

"Roar!"

"Boom!" "Boom!" The earth trembled, and Wu Yuan, Yun Ling, and the three of them could already see those roaring, howling giant Thunder Beasts. The surface of their bodies flickered with thunderous light, like massive thunderstorms.

More than twenty!

The distance between the two sides was getting closer.

"It's Thunder Beast Elites."

"So many?" Yun Ling and Yun Ya's faces had become extremely ugly, with a hint of fear.

Thunder Beast Elites, with a basic strength at least comparable to the Sixth Level of the Holy Domain, although weaker in other aspects.

But overall combat power, at least comparable to the real Second or Third Level of the Holy Domain.

Three to five, the two of them could handle together.

But when dozens rushed together? It would be effortless to tear them apart at the cost of half their strength.

"Is there guidance from a Thunder Beast King?" Wu Yuan's mind flashed a trace of vigilance.

According to reason.

There shouldn't be so many Thunder Beast Elites gathering. Although these Thunder Beasts had low intelligence, according to the intelligence, they were also quite belligerent.

"Solving these Thunder Beast Elites is not difficult, but it requires the full release of all our strength." Wu Yuan seemed anxious but was calm in his mind.

He was considering.

Whether to let Yun Ling and Yun Ya escape first. Being chased like this, sooner or later, all three would be caught.

Of course, Wu Yuan had another option—using the Space Law to escape.

Once he activated the Space Law, combined with Little Black's wings, Wu Yuan's speed would soar, enough to shake off these Thunder Beast Elites.

However, Yun Ling and Yun Ya would be doomed.

Just at this moment.

"Hum~" Yun Ya, who had been flying a hundred li in front of Wu Yuan, suddenly, without any warning, a green light burst out and rushed towards Wu Yuan.

Too close!

Too sudden.

Splash~ This green light instantly released, then expanded into a large net, shrouding Wu Yuan.

As if to trap Wu Yuan!

However.

"Swish~" Wu Yuan seemed to foresee it, and with a sudden turn of his wings behind him, like a ghost, he directly avoided this net that wanted to bind him.

Almost simultaneously.

"Splurt~" "Splurt~" A series of huge green vines sprouted from the ground, initially quite slender, but in the blink of an eye, they became extremely thick. Then, like giant snakes, they entwined towards Wu Yuan.

A large net, vines.

It erupted almost simultaneously. Wu Yuan dodged the first move but couldn't escape the second move.

Several vines entwined around Wu Yuan's thick thighs in an instant.

Instantly, it sharply reduced his speed.

And the Thunder Beasts behind, roaring, were about to arrive.

"Yun Ya!" Wu Yuan's eyes turned extremely cold, his voice filled with killing intent, staring at Yun Ya and Yun Ling, who were fleeing at high speed.

Yes!

They had indeed only recently become acquainted, but along the way, Wu Yuan had developed a considerable liking for Yun Ya and Yun Ling, a pair of Dao companions who helped each other and were incredibly affectionate.

And his absolute strength gave Wu Yuan enough confidence.

"Dark Knife, if you blame someone, blame your stupidity!" Yun Ya's divine sense transmitted an ice-cold message. He glanced back at Wu Yuan. "Did you think that helping you along the way meant we liked you? Naive!"

"You are just our shield when we encounter danger!"

"Dark Knife, if you want to live, go fight these Thunder Beasts!!" Yun Ling's voice also rang out, carrying a hint of coldness.

So proficient.

Obviously, this Dao couple had done this kind of thing before.

"Yes."

"I was naive, and I was merciful." Wu Yuan's eyes revealed indifference. It had been a long time since he wanted to kill someone like this.

These two people made him sick to his stomach.

The last time Wu Yuan felt this way was with Jin Quan.

Boom!

A terrifying pressure erupted instantly. A hazy earthy yellow light and green light overlapped, forming an invisible blade. It shattered the vines that had entwined him.

At this moment.

Boom! "Roar!" Those dozens of Thunder Beasts had already charged within a hundred miles. The surging thunderous aura could be sensed by Wu Yuan without even turning his head.

"Swoosh!"

Wu Yuan stepped fiercely into the void, causing ripples in the air.

Immediately, the pair of bone wings on his back trembled slightly, as if fish fins fluttering in water, extremely smooth.

True Domain! Qiankun!

Two profound mid-level laws were completely activated.

"Swoosh!"

In an instant, Wu Yuan, like a fish, leaped to a distance of over a thousand miles, a speed twice as fast as this group of Thunder Beasts!

Tengshe! Innately skilled in wind and space!

When it displayed the Beast Fusion state, it could be said that the fluctuation of the Space Law by Wu Yuan's physical body incarnation was much stronger than the Qi Refinement incarnation.

"Boom!"

Wu Yuan, bursting at full speed, stared ahead with eyes filled with a single thought—kill!

...Swoosh! Swoosh!

Yun Ya and Yun Ling were still fleeing at high speed.

Joy filled their faces.

"Ling'er, I didn't expect Dark Knife to be so powerful, able to help me escape a big disaster." Yun Ya transmitted, "Just too foolish."

"Very foolish!"

"Last time, Zang Xin was much smarter, but we still killed him." Yun Ling also transmitted, "With Dark Knife's strength and the vitality of a Qi Refinement cultivator, he should be able to help us delay..."

Both of them were ruthless characters. Not to mention temporary teammates like Wu Yuan, even fellow brothers had been secretly killed by them.

But in the next moment.

"Hmm? Not good, Dark Knife is catching up." Yun Ya's face suddenly changed. "Such a fast speed."

No need for him to remind, Yun Ling had also noticed.

That ghostly figure was approaching at a terrifying speed, and if not for their widely dispersed divine senses, they probably wouldn't have sensed the spatial fluctuations.

"A Mountain and River Realm cultivator can burst to such an extent in speed?" Yun Ling widened her beautiful eyes, looking as if she had seen a ghost.

Seven hundred miles!

Six hundred miles!

Three hundred miles!

With a powerful and domineering aura, Wu Yuan, with ice-cold eyes, was closing in on them.

"Even if you are the most monstrous genius of Autumn Lake Hall and use treasures, you still have to die!" Yun Ya gritted his teeth.

As a Refinement Winged Cultivator, he was decisive. He immediately took action.

"Splashing~" "Swoosh!" Countless vines erupted instantly, expanding hundreds of miles in an instant, shrouding Wu Yuan.

"Kill!"

Yun Ling also erupted, over a dozen streams of light streaked across the sky, directly heading towards Wu Yuan's massive head.

Mountain and River Realm cultivators had not truly integrated flesh and spirit and could not achieve blood rebirth like Holy Domain cultivators.

In their view, Wu Yuan relied on some kind of treasure or trump card for his terrifying speed.

But frontal combat? The probability was probably not as high as the two of them.

And what they thought was not entirely wrong. In the vast Qingling Immortal Realm, there were probably only one or two hundred monstrous geniuses in the Mountain and River Realm who could fight against Refinement Mid-Stage. In the entire Qingling Immortal Realm, there were over ten million immortal sects.

How low was the probability of encountering them?

Unfortunately.

They encountered, in the entire realm, the cultivator in the Mountain and River Realm who could be considered the strongest!

"Splash!"

Wu Yuan's thousand-zhang body instantly manifested eight arms, each wielding a war knife.

Advanced Source Technique—Three-Headed Eight-Armed!

In the next instant, eight dazzling lights burst forth, like a star exploding, as if to illuminate the entire world with the brilliance of the knives.

Star-splitting Blade Technique—Blazing Sun!

A blade technique containing the profound mid-level principles of stars and longevity erupted completely.

"Pluff!" "Pong~" "Pong~" The blade light scattered, and the successive vines were as fragile as tofu, instantly breaking layer by layer.

Swoosh!

Almost in an instant, Wu Yuan had broken through this super-large-scale spell and arrived in front of Yun Ya.

"You? Don't..." Yun Ya's face changed dramatically.

"Splash~"

The originally terrifying blade light, containing a hint of the profound spatial law, followed the traces of space, swift and heavy, directly splitting Yun Ya's body in half. The blade light directly cut through the god-soul origin that attempted to escape.

Yun Ya, dead!

"Splash~" The countless vines, originally imposing, instantly lost their master, and their power greatly weakened.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

Another series of clashes between blade and sword, Wu Yuan cut away the flying swords manipulated by Yun Ling.

Boom! Once again, with a swift move, he attacked Yun Ling.

At this moment.

"Dark Knife friend, spare me. I'll do anything for you..." Yun Ling's expression turned pitiful, exuding a hint of tenderness.

"Splashing!"

The blade light passed, directly turning her body into a pile of flesh.

"I am merciful, not because of foolishness."

"Because I have the ability to retract mercy." Wu Yuan's gaze was ice-cold as he waved and collected the remnants of the two people's treasures.

His eyes turned towards the elite Thunder Beasts roaring and rushing towards him.

This time.

Wu Yuan didn't flee again.

ps: Combined two chapters, today's guaranteed release.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 346: The True Secret of Thunder Beast Stone

"Roar~"

"Roar~" Twenty-three elite Thunder Beasts roared and charged over. It's worth noting that their speed was already incredibly fast.

In the winding and twisting mountain ranges, their instantaneous burst of speed was slightly faster than the full-speed burst of Yun Ling and Yun Ya.

Although Wu Yuan had just fought with Yun Ya and Yun Ling, taking no more than two seconds, it was enough for these Thunder Beasts to charge over thousands of miles of void.

"Boom!"

"Boom!" Each Thunder Beast suddenly erupted, with large back spikes on their backs. At this moment, the tips of these spikes gleamed, releasing a terrible thunderous light.

These thunder lights, like a Qi cultivator using an array while simultaneously casting spells, interwove without any stagnation or consumption. In an instant, they formed a thunder net that covered thousands of miles and attacked.

Rumbling~ The two mountain ranges along the way resounded with continuous explosions.

Countless rocks and soil trembled!

These thunder lights not only spread for thousands of miles but also occupied the vast space between the two mountain ranges, spanning a distance of thousands of miles.

Too fast! The extreme thunder was approaching the speed of light, and although this thunder light was not as terrifying, it still reached an astonishing speed of thirty thousand miles per second.

Wu Yuan had no time to evade, his expression slightly changed.

Only instinctive reactions.

It can be said that Wu Yuan never expected that a large number of elite Thunder Beasts gathering together could unleash such a special ability, which was not mentioned in the intelligence.

However, Wu Yuan was unaware.

For outsiders like them, the information provided by Changxing Immortal Sect was only common knowledge.

Some precious information obtained at the cost of countless lives?

Wouldn't it be easily leaked?

"Splash~" The interwoven thunder lights belonged to the category of super-large-scale spells, like the dispersion of a domain.

Unless one could hide in a higher-dimensional space or leave this area at an extreme speed.

Otherwise, there was no way to avoid it!

"To comprehend the true meaning of the Qiankun Dao to the seventh level or integrate the complete spatial law into the first level of true meaning, one can enter the spatial fragment layer with the physical body." Wu Yuan was well aware of this.

Entering a high-dimensional space wasn't that easy.

"Boom!" A domain appeared around Wu Yuan, an obscure earthy yellow light and green light interweaved, instantly colliding with the thunder light.

If it were a Qi cultivator with the Purple Mansion Qi supporting them, forming a sword domain with flying swords, there might be a chance to resist.

But for a Body Refining cultivator?

With the same understanding of the Dao, without the support of Qi, the power of the domain would be significantly weaker.

This was the inherent disadvantage of Body Refining cultivators.

"Rumbling~" Layers of thunder light interwove, and even with the weakening effect of Wu Yuan's Dao domain, it still bombarded his towering body.

"Crackling~"

Interweaving electric snakes, Wu Yuan's body was covered with layer upon layer of battle armor. Only his eyes were exposed, even his palms and fingers were covered in scale armor.

Life source power infusion, a complete set of high-grade spiritual treasures battle armor!

And beneath the battle armor.

In places invisible to the naked eye, countless mysterious green runes interwove and appeared on Wu Yuan's body, making his entire body faintly resemble a single entity.

Heavenly Grade Source Technique—Great Witch Divine Body!

As a true body-type Heavenly Grade Source Technique, the 'Great Witch Divine Body' had two forms.

One was the conventional form, which didn't consume a bit of source power. Wu Yuan, who had cultivated it to the third level, had a physical strength approaching that of a second-grade spiritual weapon.

The second form was the source power form. Activating the source art runes with life source power would cause his physical strength to soar, fully comparable to a first-grade spiritual weapon.

It could be described as indestructible!

Of course, the formidable power under the source power form also rapidly consumes life source power.

In fact, at this moment, Wu Yuan executed multiple source techniques.

The advanced source technique, Divine Elephant, was an advancement of the Shaman form, making the body huge and erupting in all directions.

Of course, similar high-level source techniques like the Divine Elephant were considered conventional methods among the Mountain and River Realm cultivators.

Wu Yuan's true core source technique was the Great Witch Divine Body.

Body-refining cultivators who practiced different Heavenly Grade source techniques had different combat styles.

Without a doubt, Wu Yuan excelled most in enduring attacks!

"Hiss~" "Boom~" The seemingly violent electric snakes, passing through the high-grade spiritual treasure battle armor, had already weakened by more than ninety percent. The high-grade spiritual treasure showed no trace of damage, a treasure that even an Immortal struggled to destroy with a full-force strike.

Through the battle armor, the final ten percent impact struck Wu Yuan's fully exerted body. The terrifying impact and the corrosive power of lightning caused numerous cracks on the surface of his body, blood oozing out, as if there was a trend of collapse.

It even sent Wu Yuan flying backward.

However!

"Rumbling~" Overflowing and endless life source power surged out from within his body, quickly stabilizing Wu Yuan's body, which seemed on the verge of collapse.

"Such a terrifying impact!"

"Such heaven-defying power." Wu Yuan's heart trembled slightly. He understood that he had been a bit careless this time.

If he hadn't exchanged for the high-grade spiritual treasure battle armor and if the Great Witch Divine Body wasn't robust enough, coupled with the restoration of life source power...

Under this strike, he would probably have been severely injured or even fallen!

"The combined power of this thunder and lightning web definitely surpasses the ninth level of Qi Refinement."

"If I can cultivate the Great Witch Divine Body to the fourth level and unleash something close to a spiritual treasure, I can directly withstand it."

This had little to do with the comprehension of the Dao.

The gap in the fundamental aspects was too large.

It was like the ninth level of an Earth Immortal, with a strength level over ten thousand times that of Wu Yuan. Unless they could comprehend an entire Dao, the power of the Dao would overwhelm them. Otherwise, even the slightest remaining ripple could kill Wu Yuan.

"Kill!"

Under the mad consumption of life source power, Wu Yuan, whose body was basically intact, flapped the wings on his back, shaking like a playful fish. In an instant, he turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the Thunder Beasts flying towards him.

"Roar~"

"Roar~" These elite Thunder Beasts, with higher intelligence than ordinary Thunder Beasts, seemed to feel a hint of surprise. They didn't expect such an eruption, failing to kill Wu Yuan, a Mountain and River Realm cultivator.

However, the instinct of life made them fearless.

In an instant, the two sides collided. These Thunder Beasts had the advantage of greater numbers and more robust basic strength, while Wu Yuan excelled in stronger defense and more elusive body techniques!

"Clang!" "Clang!"

"Boom!" With Wu Yuan's full eruption, his combat power had soared to a terrifying level, surpassing even a Ninth Realm cultivator of the Saint Domain!

With the versatile 'Celestial Star Splitting Blade Technique.'

Strands of blade light flickered, and in this narrow canyon, it seemed as if the phantoms of countless Wu Yuan were appearing. Following closely behind, Thunder Beasts fell to the ground one after another in their roars!

The blade like stars, profound and boundless!

The blade like lightning, changing like mist!

After nearly ten breaths of battle, this canyon finally fell completely silent. The surroundings were in chaos, and all twenty-three elite Thunder Beasts had perished.

"Phew!"

Wu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze scanning the corpses covering the ground. He shook his head slightly, "These elite Thunder Beasts are truly crazy, each one of them."

Wu Yuan was certain.

If it were another cultivator at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refinement, suddenly encountering so many elite Thunder Beasts' attacks in such a narrow space, death would be inevitable!

It's worth noting that the two most powerful among these twenty-three elite Thunder Beasts had basic strength comparable to Wu Yuan's full eruption.

"Cultivating the 'Great Witch Divine Body,' this Heavenly Grade source technique, is the right choice," Wu Yuan thought to himself, "Survival is always the top priority at any time."

Being alive ensures a future and hope.

"Puchi~" "Swoosh!"

Wu Yuan's thoughts moved, and he saw crystals flying out of the bodies of the elite Thunder Beasts. These crystals were larger and rounder, emitting a stronger overall aura.

"Second-order Thunder Beast Stones," Wu Yuan whispered.

With a wave of his hand, he collected all the Thunder Beast Stones.

Visibly, the robust and massive bodies of the elite Thunder Beasts were gradually disintegrating.

"Don't understand," Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.

Then, his gaze swept over the depths of this dark canyon, and a trace of dread flashed in his eyes, "So many elite Thunder Beasts gathered together... according to the intelligence, it is highly probable that there is a Thunder Beast King driving them."

"An inner domain, a passage, and a Thunder Beast King?"

Thunder Beast Kings were as powerful as Earth Immortals!

Unless he used the trump card, Dark Moon, facing such an existence would pose a question of whether Wu Yuan could escape with his life.

"Go! Take a detour!"

Wu Yuan made a decisive decision, immediately retracing his steps.

He didn't want to provoke such a terrifying existence.

From other mountain ranges, he could still reach the location of the 'Stone Wall Dao Pattern Map' leading to Inner Domain No. 3.

...

Traveling alone, Wu Yuan first checked the many treasures left by Yun Ya and Yun Ling. There was nothing extraordinary, and the total estimated value was probably less than a billion source crystals.

This was normal.

Ordinary Qi Refinement cultivators typically possessed wealth in the hundreds of millions of source crystals.

"I was a bit naive in my actions this time," Wu Yuan reflected on the way. Although he had absolute certainty and was extremely confident in his strength.

However!

Being wrong is being wrong.

In life, one must be brave enough to face one's mistakes. No matter how strong and confident one is, one must be cautious not to overturn the boat in a ditch.

"I don't actively harm others, but I must be vigilant against others harming me," Wu Yuan said. He swiftly passed through a mountain range.

He entered another passage.

...While rushing, in the inner realm within his body.

Wu Yuan's divine consciousness origin floated high in the air.

"Rumbling~" Surging life source power was rapidly permeating twenty-three second-order Thunder Beast Stones at an astonishing speed, intending to shatter them.

A second-order Thunder Beast Stone was worth at least ten million source crystals.

But Wu Yuan didn't care at all. He just wanted to explore the most fundamental mysteries of these Thunder Beast Stones. Although these second-order Thunder Beast Stones were tough, they couldn't withstand this kind of crazy impact.

After just half an hour.

"Pong~" "Pong~" Explosive sounds echoed as if thunder, and twenty-three Thunder Beast Stones simultaneously exploded. The surging power of thunder and lightning rushed in all directions but was suppressed by the vast life source power like a boundless ocean.

Inside his inner world.

Even when facing an Earth Immortal, Wu Yuan was not the least bit afraid. Of course, Earth Immortals couldn't enter.

He neutralized the thunder and lightning power originating from the Thunder Beast Stones.

"These?" Wu Yuan was surprised.

Because.

When all the thunder and lightning power dissipated, what remained were also twenty-three incomplete Dao Pattern Maps! Each Dao Pattern Map was clearly incomplete.

However.

"These Dao Pattern Maps from second-order Thunder Beast Stones are far more complex and complete than those from third-order Thunder Beast Stones, by more than ten thousand times." Wu Yuan was extremely delighted.

With a thought.

"Boom!" A huge image projection appeared in his inner world, reaching a height of a hundred miles, densely covered with intricate patterns.

It was the Thunder Beast diagram Wu Yuan had copied before, from the giant stone wall.

However, this projection was only a form without spirit, lacking any charm or the slightest ripple of Dao. It was not very effective.

But at this moment.

"Swoosh~" Wu Yuan's thoughts moved, and he saw the twenty-three incomplete Thunder Beast Stone Dao Pattern Maps flying out.

Surprisingly, thirteen of these Thunder Beast Stone Dao Pattern Maps and a small portion of the giant stone wall Thunder Beast diagram quickly overlapped perfectly!

"Ha-ha, good!"

"Good, it's really like this. My guess is correct." Wu Yuan's eyes sparkled.

When he observed the Thunder Beast diagram initially, it seemed as if it had come to life.

And once those Thunder Beasts were removed, their bodies quickly dissipated; crushing the Thunder Beast Stones and removing all external forces left only these incomplete Dao Pattern Maps.

"The Thunder Beasts born in the Thunder Domain, the source of life, is indeed these incomplete Dao Pattern Maps."

"And these incomplete Dao Pattern Maps are all part of the 'Thunder Beast Diagram.'"

"The most crucial point is."

"The Thunder Beast diagram I copied and projected is only a surface representation, fundamentally impossible to comprehend; but the incomplete Dao Pattern Maps extracted from the Thunder Beast Stones are no different from the real Thunder Beast diagram." Wu Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of desire. "They also contain the mysteries of Dao and possess a subtle and mysterious artistic conception."

In other words.

With a sufficient number of Thunder Beast Stones, shattering them and extracting their essence, there was a complete possibility of reassembling and forming a Thunder Beast diagram within his inner world.

Exactly like the giant stone wall Thunder Beast diagram.

"In this way."

"Even if I leave the Thunder Domain, I can still observe and comprehend continuously." Wu Yuan took a deep breath, understanding what he had to do next.

Hunting Thunder Beasts!

Seizing Thunder Beast Stones.

However, there were a few problems.

"First, I estimate that to have a truly complete Thunder Beast diagram, it's necessary. In comparison, these incomplete Dao Pattern Maps are too weak in artistic conception."

"Second, the entire Thunder Domain has three hundred and sixty-five Thunder Beast diagrams, each one different. A single Thunder Beast Stone Dao Pattern Map only occupies about one three-hundredth of a complete Thunder Beast diagram. To form one Thunder Beast diagram, it requires three hundred different core Thunder Beast Stones."

"If I want all the Thunder Beast diagrams, isn't it at least necessary to hunt a hundred thousand elite Thunder Beasts? Not to mention the duplicates?" Wu Yuan shivered at the mere thought.

A hundred thousand elite Thunder Beasts?

Are there even that many elite Thunder Beasts in the entire Thunder Domain?

The next moment.

"No!" A glimmer of insight flashed through Wu Yuan's mind. His gaze fell once again on these incomplete Thunder Beast Stone Dao Pattern Maps.

"I've only observed one Thunder Beast diagram. According to reason, it would be good if one of the twenty-three Thunder Beast Stone Dao Pattern Maps matched. Yet, thirteen of them match?" Wu Yuan suddenly had a conjecture.

Three hundred and sixty-five Thunder Beast diagrams.

Perhaps only five or six hundred second-order Thunder Beast Stone Dao Pattern Maps, formed in different ways, with most patterns being repetitions.

"If that's the case."

"Maybe, by collecting one or two thousand second-order Thunder Beast Stones, I could form all the Thunder Beast diagrams." Wu Yuan thought to himself.

Hunting a hundred thousand elite Thunder Beasts? Not realistic!

Hunting a thousand or two? There's hope.

"If not."

"In the end, I can only take the risk and enter the core area to hunt the Thunder Beast King with Dark Moon." Wu Yuan thought to himself.

This is very dangerous.

But according to Wu Yuan's speculation, the Thunder Beast diagram Dao Pattern formed by first-order Thunder Beast Stones must be more complex and complete.

Perhaps, dozens of them would be enough.

"I can discover the secret of Thunder Beast Stones, but the six major sects of Baihai Immortal Island or other forces haven't found it?" Wu Yuan wondered.

However, Wu Yuan was unaware that this secret was not considered a secret among many forces in the "Illusory Immortal Realm."

It's just that knowing is of little consequence.

Combining Thunder Beast Stone Dao Patterns to form the Thunder Beast diagram, compared to the true 'Thunder Beast Diagram' engraved on the stone wall, had some flaws that Wu Yuan temporarily didn't know.

...

In the Thunder Domain, the six major sects of Baihai Immortal Island opened once every few hundred years, and each time, the terrain in the inner region would change.

Only the outer region and the position of the stone wall Dao Pattern Maps remained unchanged.

So, comparing the map.

According to the general direction, Wu Yuan repeatedly crossed the mountain ranges, changing passages, constantly getting closer to the location of the third inner region stone wall Dao Pattern Map.

Along the way, Wu Yuan encountered many Thunder Beasts and even attacks from Thunder Beast Elites.

Each one was killed by him.

Gradually confirming his conjecture.

"Just as I guessed before, although there are repetitions in these Thunder Beast Stone cores, half of them can correspond to a part of that Thunder Beast diagram." Wu Yuan was quite pleased.

Along this path.

Six days since entering the inner region, counting from the beginning, he had killed more than sixty Thunder Beast Elites.

More than a tenth of the Thunder Beast diagram had already been filled.

"I hope that along this canyon passage, I can reach the location of the third inner region stone wall Dao Pattern Map." Wu Yuan compared the map.

Looking at the map, the straight-line distance was only a few million miles.

But before this, Wu Yuan had missed twice consecutively. The winding and twisting mountain ranges and canyons might lead to other directions.

"Let's go!" Wu Yuan did not stick close to the ground, but stayed several hundred miles away. This way, he could see farther.

In the Thunder Domain, eyes were more effective than divine sense.

...

Just a few million miles away from the canyon passage where Wu Yuan was advancing, on the mountain wall of a giant rock.

There were two figures waiting.

One figure was about three meters tall, burly and robust, wearing heavy silver armor. The whole person looked like a silver mountain, his face adorned with a beard, giving off a wild and domineering aura.

Beside him.

There was a red-clothed youth about two meters tall, with an extremely exotic appearance. The serenity between his brows and eyes was inconsistent with his appearance.

Under the boulder where they were waiting, several corpses were laid out in disarray.

The bodies were mutilated and looked extremely horrifying.

"Second Brother, we've intercepted two teams already. Do you think more will come?" The silver-armored man's voice was low and sounded like waves crashing.

"There should be."

"We were the first to arrive in this area number three, coming from the outer region. This is one of the only two routes to enter the area with the third stone wall Dao Pattern Map." The red-clothed youth opened his eyes and said coldly, "The teams from the six major sects, excluding our Fire Phoenix Immortal Sect, and the external challengers, include hundreds of Refining Virtual Saint Domain cultivators."

"Most of them will enter the inner region."

"We've only killed four, how many more do we need?"

"Rely on accumulating Thunder Beast Stones ourselves? How can it be as fast as intercepting?" The red-clothed youth said as a matter of course.

The silver-armored man nodded.

In the Thunder Domain, some people rely on their own exploration, some come for the Thunder Beast diagram.

But there are also those who come to hunt other cultivators.

The level of danger varies, as does the harvest, and so do the results.

In less than half an hour.

"Hmm? Another fat lamb is here." The red-clothed youth suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the end of the winding canyon passage.

Eight hundred miles away.

At this moment, the burly figure carrying a war knife and wearing beast skins suddenly stopped.

Both sides saw each other.

"How interesting, a Mountain and River Ninth Layer cultivator?"

"Tsk tsk! A Mountain and River realm little guy who can break into the core of the inner region. Judging by his appearance, he doesn't seem to be from the six major immortal sects. Hmm, let me think." The red-clothed exotic youth stood up, "I remember now, this spiritual aura seems to be from Changxing Immortal Sect."

"He's an external challenger, but which force's peerless genius is he?"

The six major sects compete with each other, and Changxing Immortal Sect naturally wouldn't provide intelligence to other sects.

"Second Brother, do we do it?" The silver-armored man said in a low voice.

"Do it!"

The red-clothed exotic youth licked his lips, revealing a somewhat sinister smile, "Why not? Killing one of these talents from major forces might yield wealth worth over a hundred billion source crystals."

No hesitation.

Boom! Boom!

The red-clothed youth and the silver-armored man turned into two streaks of light at the same time, both terrifyingly fast.

"Rumble~" Like a volcanic eruption, layers of flames burst out from the red-clothed youth.

At the same time.

"Whoosh~" An invisible spiritual force surged directly.

...

Wu Yuan had long sensed something with his divine sense, but this was the most likely route to reach the area with the third stone wall Dao Pattern Map.

He couldn't detour.

And the moment he truly saw the red-clothed youth and the silver-armored man, Wu Yuan stopped. He clearly sensed the opponent's life aura: "Refining Virtual Ninth Layer? Ninth Layer Saint Domain?"

This level of strength was definitely top-tier in the Thunder Domain.

Moreover.

There were several bodies lying on the ground, allowing Wu Yuan to instantly comprehend - hunters!

Some powerhouses rely on exploring and taking risks to gain wealth.

Some powerhouses rely on killing other adventurers to gain wealth.

Before Wu Yuan could make a final judgment, the opponent had already erupted and swiftly attacked.

"Little guy, obediently meet your death, and you might die more comfortably." The rumors of the red-clothed youth echoed in Wu Yuan's mind.

At the same time.

"Boom!" Invisible force descended, a powerful spiritual attack directly invading Wu Yuan's upper dantian palace.

"No!"

Although Wu Yuan instantly transformed into a thousand-foot figure, a trace of fear and struggle appeared on his face, as if he was entangled in a spiritual attack that he couldn't break free from.

Rumble~

The flame domain spread out, enveloping Wu Yuan, completely suppressing him.

Wu Yuan seemed unable to move.

"Haha, such a weak-willed little guy, but your defense is not bad. It should be a battle armor spirit treasure." The red-clothed youth grinned and quickly approached Wu Yuan.

In the blink of an eye.

The distance between them was reduced to only three hundred miles.

Whoosh~ The red-clothed youth waved his hand, and a flame giant palm condensed in front of him, intending to completely annihilate Wu Yuan.

In that instant!

"Hoo!"

Wu Yuan, originally lifeless and suppressed by the domain, suddenly opened his eyes, revealing an endless coldness.

"Hum~" A pair of wings suddenly spread open from behind.

"Die!"

Wu Yuan's towering figure shot up like lightning, and the seemingly overwhelming layers of flame domain had no effect on him.

"Whoosh!"

A strange blade light crossed the sky for hundreds of miles, directly attacking the astonished red-clothed youth.

(This chapter is complete)

Chapter 347 Harvest, Spirit of the Thunder Vein (46000 Monthly Votes + Extra Update)

If separated by a thousand miles, it would take some time for Wu Yuan to erupt and attack the red-clothed youth. With the strength of the red-clothed youth at the Refined Void Ninth Stage, he could make certain countermeasures.

But at a distance of only three hundred miles?

It's just too close, and Wu Yuan, who possesses the Thunder Snake and comprehends the laws of spatial manipulation, already has a terrifying explosive speed!

The crucial point is.

How many powerful beings has the red-clothed youth slaughtered? He never considered that a Refined Void Ninth Stage could threaten his life.

This is a difference of a significant level.

In theory, even the most outstanding genius in the Qingling Immortal Realm couldn't achieve this.

And some runic treasures that can instantly kill a Refined Void Ninth Stage? At least worth hundreds of divine crystals, more expensive than the entire wealth of some Earth Immortals.

"Retreat!"

The red-clothed youth's face contorted to the extreme, the blood vessels on his temple raised high, and his speed sharply declined as he attempted to retreat.

At the same time, flames and rainbow lights appeared around him. Simultaneously, spiritual treasure chains burst forth, slamming towards Wu Yuan.

"Get lost."

The silver burly man was equally furious. One of his palms rapidly enlarged, whipping towards Wu Yuan like a giant snake.

It can be said.

At the moment of life and death, their cooperation was extremely exquisite, and both were putting all their efforts into the eruption.

However!

They encountered Wu Yuan!

"Whoosh!" The brilliance of the eight-armed blade erupted, radiating layers of dazzling light. It fiercely struck the giant palm that resembled a snake.

Sky-splitting blade light!

The palm collapsed like the sky falling.

"Puchi" "Puff~" The lightning-fast blade light clashed more than ten times, and the giant palm was torn open, blood splattering. The originally confident silver-clad man's face suddenly changed dramatically, staring at Wu Yuan in disbelief, filled with fear!

So frightening.

The sharpness of such a frontal impact, the terrifying power of the blade light, far surpassed him.

He felt the blood in his body churning.

"Swish!" Like a meteor, the silver-clad man was sent flying backward by the fully erupted Wu Yuan.

"Impossible!"

"He's just at the Mountain and River Ninth Stage." The silver-clad man was full of shock: "Even if he wields a battle knife with the support of a magic treasure, theoretically, I should be able to suppress him directly."

Such a large gap in basic mana.

Yet he was overwhelmed.

"Could it be that his comprehension of the Dao rivals that of an Immortal? No, it shouldn't be. Such a monstrous talent, the entire Immortal Realm probably doesn't have one or two."

"However, his swordsmanship is indeed dazzling to the extreme, one of the most beautiful swordsmanship I've ever seen." The silver-clad man, who had experienced countless battles, had thoughts racing through his mind.

In the end, he came to two conclusions—first, Wu Yuan's comprehension of the Dao is extremely high, probably comparable to high-ranked Earth Immortals, a truly peerless talent.

Second, Wu Yuan secretly has a treasure enhancing his power.

His thoughts were indeed correct. Normally, the most top-tier geniuses in the Fourth Original Witch Realm could only unleash the combat power of the Refined Void Seventh or Eighth Stage. It would be impossible for them to crush him!

However, this was indeed Wu Yuan's full eruption. When the Threefold Harmony of Stellar True Meaning combined with the Onefold of Eternal Life True Meaning, along with a trace of the mystery of True Realm, it already equaled the comprehension of a Mid-level True Meaning Fivefold.

Such comprehension of the Dao was not considered inferior even among Immortals.

Coupled with Wu Yuan's foundation, which was close to a True Domain, he naturally erupted with a terrifying combat power beyond the True Domain Ninth Stage.

"Escape!"

In a mix of surprise and anger, the silver-clad man in the powerful battle armor, realizing that he had stirred up a hornet's nest, retreated forcefully, frantically fleeing.

Completely ignoring the red-clothed youth.

"Clang!"

"Clang!" "Clang!" Wu Yuan's consecutive blade techniques sent the silver-clad man flying, and the blade light directly smashed through layer after layer of flames.

"Rip~" Chains were torn apart.

Unmatched dominance!

He was completely suppressing the red-clothed youth; even if the youth desperately tried to escape, the continuous blade light kept him from having any chance to break free.

He could only struggle with all his might!

Fortunately, the red-clothed youth's strength was formidable, and both his spells and treasures had a significant impact on Wu Yuan.

Boom!

The collision of the Flame Domain and the merging domain of Stellar True Meaning.

Blade light and chains intertwined and exploded, with the terrifying aftermath impacting in all directions.

"Puchi~"

Another strange blade light emerged, avoiding the last chain and, under the horrified gaze of the red-clothed youth, directly slashed at the surface layer of his battle armor.

The battle armor remained intact, but the dreadful impact force was something a Qi Refiner's physical body couldn't withstand. It directly turned his body into powder!

Suddenly.

A subtle wave of invisible energy emanated from the remnants of the red-clothed youth.

"Roar!" Wu Yuan's eyes narrowed, and his divine consciousness within instantly condensed into needles, erupting and spreading in all directions.

Countless soul needles shot out.

Spiritual technique, the second form of the Soul Annihilation Needle – the Dispersing Needle!

"Ah!" A soul screamed, and it vanished completely. The surrounding treasures, which were still trembling, immediately fell silent.

"Humph!"

"A Refined Void Ninth Stage who has cultivated the 'Primordial Spirit Embryo Technique' thinks I don't understand?" Wu Yuan's eyes were cold.

Body Refiners have a robust physical body that is challenging to kill.

As Qi Refiners advance in cultivation, their life-preserving methods become stronger.

Earth Immortals, even if their physical bodies are destroyed, can quickly recast them as long as their primordial spirit escapes.

Higher-level Immortals who have cultivated multiple layers of primordial spirit radiance are even more terrifying, able to survive with just a fragment of their primordial spirit.

As for Refined Void Ninth Stage cultivators.

Many of them have reached the limit of spiritual consciousness. By cultivating certain techniques, they can seize the opportunity to inhabit a suitable physical body in a short time, allowing them to come back to life.

If it were some other Mountain and River Realm genius, facing this move, perhaps there would be nothing they could do.

However, Wu Yuan's main body of Body Refinement, while not proficient in spiritual techniques, was still relatively stronger compared to a Qi Refining main body.

The "Soul Annihilation Needle" had achieved some success, and with Wu Yuan's well-rounded spiritual consciousness, it was effortless to kill a Refined Void spirit without a physical body.

While pondering, Wu Yuan's gaze swept over to the distance.

The silver-clad man in battle armor had long since disappeared without a trace, and Wu Yuan had no intention of pursuing him. With the formidable cultivation of a True Domain Ninth Stage, it would be too difficult to kill him.

Even after battling for tens of thousands of miles, it might not be possible to kill him.

Even Earth Immortals would find it challenging to execute a move that would kill a True Domain Ninth Stage.

"It's a pity that, in terms of attack, the main body of Body Refinement is indeed slightly weaker than the main body of Qi Refinement." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly. "If it were the main body of Qi Refinement, forming the Sword Domain, I'm afraid I could have killed both of them with just two or three clashes."

On the one hand, the choice of the Heavenly Tier Source Technique, the 'Grand Shaman Godly Body,' provided Wu Yuan's main body of Body Refinement with powerful life-preserving abilities, inevitably making its offensive capabilities weaker.

There is no perfect solution.

On the other hand, the main body of Body Refinement has a slightly weaker foundation, coupled with the characteristics of a Sword Cultivator in the main body of Qi Refinement.

Of course, in terms of life-preserving abilities, the main body of Body Refinement is stronger than the main body of Qi Refinement.

"Hoo!"

"I wonder what treasures this guy left behind." Wu Yuan waved his hand and collected many treasures left by the red-clothed youth, then probed with his divine sense.

Upon inspection,

Wu Yuan's current vision was exceptionally high. Quickly estimating, he figured that the combined value of most treasures and minerals was probably over a hundred billion Source Crystals.

While considerable in the Refinement Realm, it meant little to Wu Yuan.

What truly surprised him was,

"There are over two hundred second-tier Thunder Beast Stones?" Wu Yuan was quite pleased, and with a thought,

Countless Thunder Beast Stones

Floated in front of him.

Each second-tier Thunder Beast Stone represented the killing of an elite Thunder Beast, an astonishing number.

"Indeed, looting is always the quickest way to acquire treasures." Wu Yuan pondered various thoughts in his mind. "Although the red-clothed youth is powerful, he shouldn't have killed so many elite Thunder Beasts in less than half a month."

"Did he kill other cultivators?"

"However,"

"A killer often meets his doom. Always relying on killing others to accumulate wealth is a recipe for disaster." Wu Yuan muttered.

Since arriving in the Thunder Raze World, Wu Yuan had never thought of actively killing other cultivators.

However, Wu Yuan's speculation was not wrong.

In reality, the treasures harvested by the silver-clad man and the red-clothed youth were mostly collected by the red-clothed youth.

After all, during normal battles, the red-clothed youth's long-range attacks were safer.

Who would have thought that they would encounter Wu Yuan?

"With these two hundred-plus second-tier Thunder Beast Stones, I think I can complete half of the Thunder Beast diagram." Wu Yuan waved his hand and collected all the Thunder Beast Stones.

Swoosh!

Wu Yuan flew straight along the canyon, continuing forward.

"These two are both from the Fire Phoenix Immortal Sect." Wu Yuan pondered as he flew.

When the six major immortal sects gathered before,

He had sensed and recorded the approximate spiritual aura of everyone, especially those Earth Immortals and Refinement Realm powerhouses.

So, it was easy to distinguish.

"They seem to be specifically blocking this area." Wu Yuan's gaze swept over the scattered remains below the mountainside.

"It seems that ahead should be the third section of the wall with Dao patterns." Wu Yuan felt a sense of anticipation.

The reason for such speculation was simple.

If this were not a mandatory passage, why would the red-clothed youth and the silver-clad man specifically block this place?

Moreover, according to the map, this area is indeed very close to the third section of the wall with Dao patterns.

"The only problem."

"When this True Domain Ninth Stage cultivator escapes, will it attract retaliation from the Earth Immortal of the Fire Phoenix Immortal Sect?" This thought flashed through Wu Yuan's mind.

It was entirely possible.

As for revealing his strength? Wu Yuan wasn't too worried about it.

Unlike the Witch Immortal Battlefield, where invisible rules suppressed them, scrutinized by the two major forces, and every move had to be carried out relying on one's strength, making it easy to expose true abilities and potential.

It was different when venturing outside.

Although treasures from all sorts of cross-border kills were precious, the probability of encountering 'Mountain and River Realm Ninth Stage unleashing strength comparable to an Earth Immortal' was much higher.

"This True Domain Ninth Stage cultivator probably thinks I'm an extraordinary genius who has comprehended mid-tier True Intents and utilized some terrifying treasure." Wu Yuan felt calm.

In this life-and-death adventure,

Not to mention the difficulty of transmitting information, even if transmitted, bursting out with strength was not a concern. It was challenging to attract the attention of higher-ups.

Because, in actual combat, countless strange and bizarre events occurred.

How many Immortal Sects were there in the entire Qingling Immortal Realm? Over ten million!

Even some Celestial Masters may not care.

Moreover, not to mention Celestials, this True Domain Ninth Stage cultivator might not even have a way to pass on the information to an Upper Immortal, even if he leaves the Thunder Raze World.

"Furthermore,"

"I still have the identity of a disciple of the Autumn Lake Pavilion as a cover. No need to explain; they will naturally make their own assumptions." Wu Yuan turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the distance.

What truly worried Wu Yuan was the retaliation from the Earth Immortal of the Fire Phoenix Immortal Sect.

According to Wu Yuan's estimation,

For a sect occupying one-sixth of an immortal continent, there should be tens of thousands of Refinement Realm powerhouses.

If one were to fall,

It might not be a huge deal, but it was not insignificant either.

...

"Escape!"

"We must escape far away." The silver-clad muscular man was frantically fleeing, not daring to stop for a moment.

Fear filled his heart.

As a True Domain Ninth Stage cultivator, his perspective was quite impressive. Though limited to one immortal continent, practicing for thousands of years had given him some knowledge about the upper echelons of the Immortal Country.

For example, knowledge about some extraordinary geniuses.

"The mysterious cultivator in the Mountain and River Realm can't possibly be this strong in true strength. Otherwise, it's too outrageous. He must have used some treasures I'm not aware of."

"He's dead!"

"Number two is already dead."

"He defeated me with one move and quickly killed number two. The value of his treasures is probably worth tens of thousands of God Crystals." The silver-clad muscular man quickly analyzed the situation from his perspective.

"How precious is such a treasure?"

"He can't be a disciple of the Longxing Immortal Sect; he must be an outsider participating in trials, and a significant one. He's likely a core member of an Immortal Country-level force."

The silver-clad muscular man trembled in his heart.

"We were foolish and too arrogant, thinking there wouldn't be such extraordinary geniuses adventuring in the small Thunder Raze World."

His speculation was correct.

The Thunder Raze World, aside from the 'Thunder Beast Diagram,' was not particularly outstanding compared to the 'millions' of special worlds and realms in the entire Qingling Immortal Country.

Moreover, as a man-made world, it had been searched countless times over billions of years.

Normally, such extraordinary geniuses would not come to adventure in the Thunder Raze World.

"Such extraordinary geniuses have a status comparable to Upper Immortals and even rivaling Celestials."

"I can't let the Earth Immortal know that I've provoked such a big shot."

The silver-clad muscular man quickly made a decision. "Once I'm out, I'll report back to the sect. Number two was killed by an elite Thunder Beast."

"As long as I go back, I'll hide in the sect headquarters."

"The Patriarch is a great Celestial Master."

"I think this extraordinary genius won't bother to come to our Fire Phoenix Immortal Sect headquarters for such a trivial grudge. After all, he hasn't suffered any losses." The silver-clad muscular man thought to himself.

Swoosh!

He turned into a stream of light, not daring to linger in the area of the third Dao Pattern wall, and fled all the way.

...

Wu Yuan advanced only a little over a hundred thousand miles, and the narrow canyon passage suddenly opened up.

A vast and mega-sized wilderness appeared in front of Wu Yuan.

With a diameter exceeding five thousand miles!

On both sides of the square stood towering and endless mountain walls. The mountain walls were engraved with one immense Thunder Beast diagram after another.

On both sides,

A total of seventy-three.

Each Thunder Beast diagram emitted an immensely imposing pressure. The intertwining aura of pressure from over seventy Thunder Beast diagrams surprised Wu Yuan.

Very dominant.

As if facing an Upper Immortal whose aura completely permeated the surroundings.

Hoo!

"Sure enough, it's here." Wu Yuan lightly landed on this square.

The entire square was deserted.

Obviously, besides the red-robed youth and his companion, and the cultivators they had killed, Wu Yuan was the first to arrive at the area of the third Dao Pattern wall.

"These Thunder Beast diagrams." Wu Yuan endured the pressure emanating from the Thunder Beast diagrams.

With his strength, he could easily withstand it.

For ordinary cultivators in the Purple Mansion Mountain and River Realm, if they didn't use treasures for protection, they would probably have to leave the square soon.

"Same as I expected."

"The different Thunder Beast diagrams contain slightly different artistic conceptions." Wu Yuan was deeply moved by the Thunder Beast diagram he had encountered before.

And the first one he comprehended.

It was just an inconspicuous one among the seventy-three Thunder Beast diagrams.

"Seventy-three Thunder Beast diagrams."

"Just from the appearance, it seems to depict the entire process of Thunder Beasts from discovering prey, lurking to prepare for the kill, to striking, and finally killing the enemy." Wu Yuan pondered.

A single Thunder Beast diagram was just a picture.

Seventy-three Thunder Beast diagrams seemed to tell a complete story about Thunder Beasts.

"What I need to do is to find the Thunder Beast diagram that truly resonates with me." Wu Yuan thought to himself, "I can only start trying one by one."

Just from the appearance, it couldn't be judged.

Each Thunder Beast diagram had to be comprehended one by one; this was a time-consuming process.

However, with the accumulation from the first one, according to Wu Yuan's estimation, it would take at most ten days to complete.

"I hope I can find the right one." Wu Yuan thought to himself. He sat down cross-legged on a piece of grass and began to meditate quietly.

...

"Not suitable."

"Still centered around the Thunder and Fire paths, with Longevity, Stars, and True Domain as mere auxiliary elements."

"This one doesn't fit either."

"Not suitable!"

As time passed,

One Thunder Beast diagram after another was discarded, making Wu Yuan's heart sink deeper and deeper, gradually reaching the lowest point.

Because!

More than twenty Thunder Beast diagrams in a row did not fit.

Moreover, the more he comprehended later,

The more intense the violent and fierce artistic conception belonging to Thunder and Fire became, while the mysteries of Longevity and Star paths became increasingly weak.

"It seems."

"The appearances of these Thunder Beast diagrams, invisibly, represent the mysterious artistic conception inclination of the Thunder Beast diagrams?" Wu Yuan gradually discovered this pattern.

When the Thunder Beasts in the Thunder Beast diagrams exhibit a sense of slaughter and aggression, the presence of the Thunder and Fire paths seems to become more intense!

Thinking of this,

Wu Yuan's gaze directly fell on the fifty-eighth Thunder Beast diagram because the Thunder Beast in this Dao Pattern diagram was precisely in the process of striking and hunting enemies.

And with a little comprehension,

As Wu Yuan expected,

The artistic conception of this Thunder Beast diagram was the most domineering, purely interweaving the Thunder and Fire paths. There was almost no sense of the Longevity and Star paths.

Just as Wu Yuan was contemplating,

"Boom!"

"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" Slight spatial fluctuations made Wu Yuan, with his extremely sensitive perception, turn his head. "Someone is coming."

Not far away,

Nine figures descended, seven in the Foundation Establishment Realm, two in the Core Formation Realm, simultaneously forming three teams.

Among them, several were acquaintances of Wu Yuan.

"Dark Blade Young Master, are you here alone? I didn't expect to encounter you so soon," said Mu Xin, dressed in a purple robe, with a charming and pure appearance.

"Dark Blade Daoist friend." Nie Le, who was originally smiling, reluctantly spoke.

"Hmm." Wu Yuan nodded lightly.

"Dark Blade Young Master is indeed extraordinary. Alone, he arrived here so quickly. Admire! Admire!" Chi Chang, the white-robed old man, looked very admiring, as if he genuinely felt so.

As for the Holy Realm Eighth Layer black-robed strong man, he just followed Nie Le and looked at Wu Yuan with some curiosity but didn't speak.

It seemed he was curious about how Wu Yuan, alone, had come here.

"Lucky." Wu Yuan said indifferently.

A demeanor unwilling to speak much.

"Haha, Dark Blade Young Master is comprehending these Thunder Beast diagrams? Alright, we won't disturb you. We'll talk some other time after you finish cultivating," Chi Chang laughed.

"Dark Blade Daoist friend, come find me after you finish cultivation," Mu Xin expressed a worshipful appearance.

They four went to another side.

"This Mu Xin." Wu Yuan frowned slightly and glanced at the two teams in the distance.

One team had two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

The other team consisted of two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators and one in the Holy Realm Realm.

Judging from their life auras, none of them could be underestimated, seemingly high-level cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"Are they cultivators from other immortal sects, or are they outsiders?" Wu Yuan pondered for a moment, but he didn't want to pay much attention.

He continued to comprehend these Thunder Beast diagrams.

In the area of the Dao Pattern wall, fighting was strictly prohibited, and violators would undoubtedly die.

So everyone was very relaxed, either resting or comprehending these legendary Thunder Beast diagrams.

...In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

At this moment, nearly twenty Foundation Establishment Realm powerhouses had gathered in this square, along with four or five elite cultivators from various major sects in the Purple Mansion Mountain and River Realm.

Wu Yuan was just one of the inconspicuous ones.

"The artistic conception contained in these seventy-three Thunder Beast diagrams is not suitable for me." Wu Yuan finally comprehended each Thunder Beast diagram.

"However."

"If I have to choose."

"The most suitable for my comprehension is the first one." Wu Yuan's gaze fell on the first Thunder Beast diagram.

This Thunder Beast diagram, from the surface,

The Thunder Beast had just discovered its prey, and the desire to hunt had not yet been revealed.

"In its contained artistic conception, it is also the most peaceful. Although the profundity of the Longevity and Star paths is shallow, at least it can be clearly felt." Wu Yuan thought.

Thinking about this,

Inside his body's mountains and rivers,

Gushing! Gushing! Gushing! Only to see vast mountains and rivers within his body, displaying one Thunder Beast diagram after another rapidly, a total of three hundred and sixty-five.

However, these Thunder Beast diagrams only had appearances.

And lacked artistic conception and the profoundness of Dao patterns.

These Thunder Beast diagram images were all in the intelligence provided by the Changxing Immortal Sect.

This wasn't a secret.

"Based on this rule."

"If I want to find a Thunder Beast diagram with the core of the Dao mysteries of the Star and Longevity paths, then the Thunder Beast in the diagram should be in the most peaceful state." Wu Yuan's gaze fell on one set of Thunder Beast diagrams.

Five major regions, a total of five sets of Thunder Beast diagrams.

In this set of Thunder Beast diagrams, the Thunder Beasts either lay on the ground, leisurely blew in the wind, snoozed soundly, or sprawled on trees... leisurely, calm, and peaceful.

"The Dao Pattern wall of the first area."

Wu Yuan had a feeling that the Thunder Beast diagram he desired was in the Inner Domain's first area.

When Wu Yuan deduced these Thunder Beast diagrams,

Suddenly, on the external square,

"Boom, rumble~" In the vast high sky above the square, countless thunders suddenly appeared out of nowhere, interweaving violently. The intense movement made all the cultivators on the square, whether meditating or practicing comprehension, open their eyes.

They all couldn't help but look toward the boundless high sky.

Countless thunder lights intertwined, forming a huge thunder and lightning cluster in the center, and the aura and pressure became even more terrifying.

"What is this?"

"Spirit of the Thunder Domain!"

"It's actually the Spirit of the Thunder Domain. Staying here, the Spirit of the Thunder Domain will be born?"

"Treasure, we must seize it." The entire square instantly boiled. The eyes of dozens of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators became incredibly fervent.

"The value surpasses a first-order Thunder Beast Stone, the Spirit of the Thunder Domain." Wu Yuan also felt somewhat surprised.

Unlike Thunder Beast Stones,

The Spirit of the Thunder Domain was another precious treasure born in the Thunder Domain world.

But it was born irregularly and could happen anywhere at any time.

No cultivator dared to fly into the sky to plunder.

Countless times in the past, blood had proven that it was only when the Spirit of the Thunder Domain emerged on its own that it was possible.

For a full fifteen minutes,

"Boom, rumble, rumble!" The enormous thunder and lightning cluster in the sky suddenly erupted. Countless thunderbolts struck in all directions.

Immediately after,

Silently.

Whoosh~ A stream of thunder and lightning instantly streaked across the vast sky, directly landing in front of Wu Yuan.

Suddenly,

Everyone's gaze on the entire square focused on Wu Yuan and the light cluster in front of him.

Chapter 348 Thunder Beast Diagram? Life Dao Pattern Diagram?

Not just dozens of cultivators around.

"This?" Wu Yuan, sitting cross-legged on the grass, was also stunned. He looked at the faintly shimmering Thunderlight, a fist-sized milky-white light sphere in front of him.

Just now, when the Spirit of the Thunder Domain emerged, Wu Yuan did have the intention to compete for the treasure.

The Spirit of the Thunder Domain, worth ten divine crystals (trillion source crystals), had a wealth comparable to most Earth Immortals.

For Wu Yuan, the value was not the key.

What mattered was the mysterious changes in the Thunder Beast Stone, making Wu Yuan curious about this legendary Spirit of the Thunder Domain.

Perhaps.

Could it also transform into a incomplete Dao pattern diagram like the Thunder Beast Stone?

It's just that Wu Yuan never expected that this Spirit of the Thunder Domain would fall directly in front of him.

A gift delivered to the door?

"Could it be that I really have a luck aura?" Wu Yuan secretly muttered, "Or is it?"

His peripheral vision fell on the Thunder Beast diagram in the distance.

"Is there an invisible operating rule throughout the Thunder Domain world? Those who comprehend the mysteries of the Thunder Beast diagram to a certain extent will be given additional blessings?"

It should be noted that although Wu Yuan had not truly understood the artistic conception of any Thunder Beast diagram, he had been trying to deduce and comprehend.

There had been some gains.

Could it be that his process of comprehension had been under the attention of the invisible rules of the Thunder Domain world?

Regarding this, Wu Yuan was also uncertain.

However, heavenly bestowed treasures, how could he not take them?

"Hoo!" Wu Yuan reached out and grabbed the milky-white light sphere.

"Stop!"

"Put it down."

"You dare, kid." Instantly, several angry shouts erupted, and even several streams of light rushed towards Wu Yuan.

However, these Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were hundreds of miles away from Wu Yuan at the closest. No matter how fast they were, how could they catch up with Wu Yuan reaching out to grab it?

In an instant, the milky-white light sphere had been taken into Wu Yuan's body's mountains and rivers.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Seven or eight powerful Foundation Establishment Realm experts approached, each one staring at Wu Yuan with eyes full of anger and killing intent.

These experts came from different sects.

There were also trial participants from other Immortal Continents.

"Kid, I told you to stop just now." A black-haired old man in the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, holding a cane, lowly shouted, and the cane heavily struck the ground.

He had the highest cultivation level among all the people present.

Others also stared intently.

They were just Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, and most of their wealth was only in the range of a few hundred million to several billion source crystals.

One Spirit of the Thunder Domain was several to over a hundred times their wealth, enough to make them envious and crazy.

Hoo!

Wu Yuan stood up, and his gaze swept in all directions.

On the entire square, most Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were staring at him.

There was a greedy look in their eyes.

The only ones who could maintain restraint were people like Chi Chang and the black-robed strong man, the Law Protector of Changxing Immortal Sect.

In the end, Wu Yuan came in as a 'trial participant of Changxing Immortal Sect.'

They didn't find it easy to openly deal with Wu Yuan.

"Dark Blade Lord, if you hand over the Spirit of the Thunder Domain to Elder Chi, when you leave, my Changxing Immortal Sect will compensate you with 200 billion source crystals. How about that?" A gentle voice suddenly sounded in Wu Yuan's ear.

It was Mu Xin's voice.

She blinked and continued to transmit her voice, "In this way, Lord Dark Blade, you won't be besieged."

Chi Chang and Law Protector Fang beside her were both looking at Wu Yuan.

Obviously, from the perspective of Changxing Immortal Sect, Wu Yuan, a Mountain and River Realm cultivator, definitely didn't have the ability to protect the Spirit of the Thunder Domain amidst the encirclement of numerous experts.

On the contrary.

With a Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer and a Sanctification Eighth Layer, as well as two Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer cultivators who had recently arrived, if they only wanted to protect the Spirit of the Thunder Domain, it was quite hopeful.

"How about it?"

However, Wu Yuan seemed to have not heard Mu Xin's transmission. His gaze swept over the Foundation Establishment Realm experts from various forces, especially the black-haired old man with a cane. He suddenly sneered, "Any objections? If you have any, come and fight me!"

"Come and kill me!"

Silence fell!

These Foundation Establishment Realm experts all looked at Wu Yuan in astonishment.

Mu Xin, Chi Chang, and others were somewhat confused.

They had considered many possibilities!

However, they never expected that Wu Yuan would dare to mock all of them alone, and especially, against Wu Yuan's arrogant appearance, everyone really had no way to deal with it.

Because!

This is the area of the stone wall Dao pattern. Starting a fight here goes against the operating rules of the Thunder Domain world.

There's only a dead end!

"Kid, originally, I didn't want your life." The black-haired old man with the cane spoke indifferently, "But I've changed my mind. You won't be able to leave the Thunder Domain."

Other Foundation Establishment Realm experts also stared at Wu Yuan with anger in their eyes.

The team of Changxing Immortal Sect, led by Chi Chang, stood silently in the distance. Obviously, they didn't want to stand up for Wu Yuan.

In the end, Wu Yuan came in as a 'trial participant' and was not a disciple of Changxing Immortal Sect.

"Can't leave the Thunder Domain?" Wu Yuan looked at the white-haired old man with the cane and sneered, "If you have the ability, come and kill me."

Boom!

Wu Yuan's figure shot up, and the violent airflow instantly shattered the grass along the way. His speed soared to three hundred li per second, turning into a fleeting stream of light, directly rushing towards another passage in the square.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

"Kill him."

"Foolish, death awaits." In an instant, more than ten Foundation Establishment Realm experts who had been paying attention to Wu Yuan erupted simultaneously, turning into streams of light and rushing towards him.

"Old Chi? What about us?" Mu Xin asked.

"You two wait here, Law Protector Fang, the rest of us will go." Chi Chang said in a low voice, and together with the black-robed strong man and two other Foundation Establishment cultivators from the sect, they immediately chased after Wu Yuan.

Obviously, they were also unwilling to give up on seizing the Spirit of the Thunder Domain.

...

"Originally, I was thinking of spending a lot of time hunting elite Thunder Beasts." Wu Yuan felt the gaze of many Foundation Establishment Realm experts, and he had already figured it out.

Kill!

Wu Yuan always adhered to the principle of not attacking if others didn't provoke him.

However, if these Foundation Establishment Realm experts took the initiative to kill him and tried to snatch the treasure, then if he retaliated and killed them, it would be their own fault.

Therefore, Wu Yuan provocatively challenged them first and then fled.

"Don't run away."

"A Mountain and River Realm cultivator dares to provoke us?" Those Foundation Establishment Realm experts who chased after him roared, and they quickly surrounded Wu Yuan, jumping and leaping around him.

Roars echoed in Wu Yuan's ears.

However, before he rushed out of the square range, not a single one dared to make a move.

Quickly.

"Almost there, hurry up and break out of the square." Wu Yuan's eyes condensed slightly, and a pair of wings suddenly appeared behind him. They were precisely the 'Beast Fusion' assist from Little Black, but they were used to cover up a pair of top-grade spiritual treasure-level wings.

Swish!

Wu Yuan, who originally had a flight speed close to Foundation Establishment Realm, suddenly soared several times, reaching an extremely exaggerated level, definitely surpassing the flight speed of Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer.

"Boom!" The space roared, and he directly entered another canyon passage, rushing out of nearly a thousand li in an instant.

"So fast."

"Why did he suddenly rush out so much?"

"No wonder he dared to escape. It turns out he has such a secret treasure. It must be a runic treasure proficient in flying. He won't last long."

"Kill!" Nearly twenty Foundation Establishment Realm experts were shocked by Wu Yuan's eruption, but subconsciously felt it was reasonable.

After all!

If there were really no cards and no assurance of escape, would Wu Yuan dare to provoke them before? On the contrary, Wu Yuan's ability to escape was within their expectations.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Numerous Foundation Establishment Realm experts chased without hesitation.

In the pursuit and escape, they quickly passed several turns in the canyons, rushing out of the Thunder Beast Diagram Square for thousands of miles.

"Something's wrong, Chi Chang."

The black-robed strong man, Law Protector Fang, who swam among the crowd, remained extremely calm and transmitted, "This Dark Blade is a very shrewd person; he wouldn't act so recklessly."

He recalled what Nie Le had said to him earlier.

"You mean, a trap?" Chi Chang also vaguely realized this.

"Even if Dark Blade wants to escape, there's no need to be so high-profile. He could wait a few more days and escape during an event when everyone isn't paying attention." Law Protector Fang said in a deep voice.

"Slow down!"

"Don't rush, let's wait at the back." Chi Chang made a decision instantly. Immediately, the four Foundation Establishment Realm experts from Changxing Immortal Sect slowed down.

In fact.

It wasn't just Chi Chang and the others who felt something was wrong, but there was no side willing to give up directly.

It was not only because of confidence in their own strength.

It was more because of greed!

An opportunity to increase one's own value and wealth by a hundredfold, who would be willing to give up?

Especially the black-haired old man with the cane.

His black hair fluttered, and a faint black light spread around him. His speed unexpectedly increased slightly, making him the only one who wasn't completely left behind by Wu Yuan.

To the point where there was a trend of narrowing the gap.

Suddenly.

"Kid, go to hell!"

The black-haired old man rushing at the front suddenly roared. In his palm, a black circular ring suddenly appeared, and countless black rings flew out, rapidly enlarging.

Directly enveloping Wu Yuan!

"Enough, already escaped about five thousand miles from the square." Wu Yuan judged, "At such a distance, it's enough to kill them all."

Facing the overwhelming black circular rings.

Wu Yuan suddenly turned around, his wings trembling. In an instant, dozens of phantoms flickered, followed by a wave of his hand.

Whoosh!

In an instant, an incredibly beautiful woman in a purple robe appeared in front of Wu Yuan. She wore a robe that fluttered in the wind, with an exquisite face that was extremely rare even among enchanting and handsome cultivators.

Almost perfect.

Perfect to the point of not looking like a living being.

"Dark Moon, activate the first form and kill them!" Wu Yuan's voice echoed in Dark Moon's central control.

"Yes." Dark Moon responded instantly.

Dark Moon has three forms.

The first form consumes about a hundred billion Source Crystals of energy per second; the second form consumes about five hundred billion Source Crystals of energy per second; and the third form consumes about three God Crystals of energy per second.

In short, it's burning money!

If the enemy's strength isn't strong enough.

Maybe, even after using it, there's no guarantee of breaking even.

But the power is also immense; even the most ordinary first form can unleash the power of a peak Dao Immortal Second Stage (Fifth-rank Dao Foundation).

All of this communication seemed slow but was actually completed in an instant.

Boom!
